Thread: What weapon and projectile is everyone using for the roar?

I'm leaving the guns in the safe and going to use a compound bow only this years roar for a bit of a challenge, running 30" GT Hunter 7595 arrows with 100gr Muzzys @ 305fps.

So what combo are you guys using on the stags this roar?

I'll load some SSTs or Bergers for my .308 bush pig. I think the 130g Barnes are a bit light.

Howa 1500 ultralight with DPT suppressor in 7-08 using 140 grn Federal Blue box factory.......fukn deadly

303 single shot with a 215gr round nose woodleigh projectile doing about 2050fps. Canadians apparently use these for wild bear so I'm loaded for bear...

Nicknamed hammer as they hit like Thor's hammer......

I'll be using my 375 with 250gn bullets since my SAUM has no scope currently. Mind you I would be taking it anyway its just so damn cool to shoot.

I'll join in with a 260Imp 143gr ELD-X

270 using 140sst or 45-70 using 350gr FP.

Sako 75 308 165gn SGK

Sako 85 in .270 running 145gr ELD X Hornady Precision Hunter ammo

Marlin X7 in 7mm-08 pushing 140gr

Prob 7mm mag with 162 amax or 160 accubond. Or I might just go bugger it and take the 404 Jeffery with 400gr Woodleigh round nose n

I've had a good run over the last two weekends with my 17" barreled 284win pushing a 162g Amax, and have built good confidence with it, so will most likely use it. As it will be just as handy at 5 yards as it is at 500, and where I'm going there's plenty of potential for both.
